Doesn't Insure Invitation

Volpone director, Asst. Prof.
of Drama George Black
explained that its selection as
"the best the ten-state region
has to offer" will not
automatically insure that the
production will be invited to
the festival. Judges will
recommend as many as 30
plays while only ten will be
selected.

Mr. Black noted that the
national festival is not
technically a step up. "The
festival is meant to be a
showcase for what is going on
across the country."
